Not sure why these matters, but I sure remember those days with a smile even a grin or two. In my native country I studied education at a small college. After relocating to the Big Apple in my mid-twenties, I went back to study just because I could! This time I dabbled with Biology. AContinue reading “Those Daze”

Gift of You
I could list anything from the tangible to the divine. Most times I find what I need people can’t give it to me. So, I’ve learned to release those in my circle – gotten rid of my unhealthy expectations. I ask but one thing: Give me the real youLet me decide to stay or leaveNo facade-noContinue reading “Gift of You”
2023-Photobombed
Upon doing some research, I discovered the term ‘photobombing’ emerged somewhere in the early 2000s. It gained some momentum a few years later. One source describes it as the act of deliberately inserting oneself into the background of a photograph without the knowledge of those being captured. It is meant to be humorous and harmless.Continue reading “2023-Photobombed”
You are Some of My Favorites
We were not meant to be an island. I love this writing prompt -‘ Who are Your Current Most Favorite People?’ This brings a smile to my face. I have many favorites including the obvious – my children (biological and bonuses), siblings, and parents. I have also been equally blessed with some amazing friends andContinue reading “You are Some of My Favorites”
He Lied
A few weeks ago I asked someone in my circle to do something – nothing really serious. He gave me the impression that he did when in fact he hadn’t done what I asked. It wasn’t a big deal, I moved on and got it done otherwise. The truth is, I was oblivious to theContinue reading “He Lied”
Shine Bright
A few Saturdays ago I attended an ornament exchange party with some beautiful ladies. There was a lot of laughter and childlike joy. I may be a bit partial, but as ladies we know how to have a good time with little or a lot. As ornaments were exchanged you got to see the personality andContinue reading “Shine Bright”
Hello December
Welcome my dear friend! You are one of my favorite months. Over five decades ago a very pregnant young lady walked around waiting to embrace me for the first time. A few days later, there I was taking my very first breath. You were the first month I met. Every year since then you’ve broughtContinue reading “Hello December”
Carried
After dinner on Thanksgiving day, the adults had a couple hours of ‘grown folks’ conversation. It was good! A couple who was present at the table shared a part of their story. The husband commented on the fact that he loved his wife since high school, but she was in another space and didn’t reciprocate.Continue reading “Carried”
Bedfellows
This is a time of year that many here in the US choose to embrace an attitude of gratitude in different ways. We get some time to reflect even as we are moving closer to the end of another year. Many of us are just grateful that we made it this far – some ofContinue reading “Bedfellows”
I Think I Get It
The older I get, the more I realize there’s a method to everyone’s perceived madness. If I take the time to listen, I might get it. Get why you do the things you do. Why you dance to the beat of your drum and don’t feel the need to explain your misunderstood insanity. At anotherContinue reading “I Think I Get It”
